Members of 2012 Youth Parliament Pakistan got the opportunity to visit Stockholm, Sweden. The Visit was aimed to provide a chance to the selected Youth parliament Members to understand the Swedish political and Parliamentary system and engage in a meaningful dialogue with Swedish youth counterparts on issues of mutual interest and concern.

Members of the 6th and 7th Batch of Youth Parliament Pakistan were provided an opportunity to visit London, UK and Copenhagen, Denmark in February 2015 and November-December 2015. The main purpose of the Study Visit was to facilitate learning about the democratic and Parliamentary systems, institutional measures of public accountability and transparency of Governments. The programme aimed to provide specific learning about the UK and Danish democracies, electoral, Parliamentary and political systems. The first day was spent in meetings in the British Parliament while the next four in Copenhagen included meetings with Danish MPs and experts.
